Customer Feedback
The course was well structured, informative and fun.
Mark Stephenson
The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to comunicate with. He was approachable and friendly and taught me a lot about TEFL. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend course and will find it useful as a base on which to develop further. I will definitley be using what I learnt within my work, and it has prompted me to take further courses.
The venue was easy to find, with great parking. It was pretty central for all the participants and was a pleasant environment in the city centre.
Beverley Fowler
The course was excellent. I had no idea what to expect in so far as I could not imagine how to train a foreign langiage teacher in two days. While I will have to do a lot of work on my own before I begin teaching, this course has given me the foundation on which to do that.
Martin Forster
The course was thought provoking and was well explained rather than clouded in jargon. All terms were introduced once their meaning was already fully understood. The sense of structure it provided leaves me with a new confidence, allowing myself to see teaching as something other than a leap in the dark.
Luke Tweedy
The venue was convenient and of good quality. The trainer was excellent, very motivational. The course was excellent, the content was varied but progressive and accessible by all. I enjoyed all of it.
